♪ but i want you everybody just stopped. and stared at that. >> and stared to the monitor. i've never seen you men pay so much attention. >> hi to robin at home. welcome back to elizabeth vargas. >> she probably liked it, too. >> and welcome back to josh, after vacation. >> turns out california's still one of the great states of the union. >> still is great. >> it was terrific. it was great. >> welcome back. big headline you're coming back to, about the boy scouts. they're set to lift the ban on gay members. some of the organization seems so dead-set against. but the shift is coming. could be very soon. we'll have all the details this morning. we were surprised and concerned to hear that our colleague, barbara walters, has

the chickenpox. it raises a lot of questions about adults and chickenpox and how that disease can affect adults and what you need to know. it's a lot more serious in adults than it is with kids. >> we'll have dr. besser here this morning. >> we're all thinking about barbara this morning. and what a wave. check out that shot. >> whoa. >> wow. >> it is a record-breaker. could it be one of the biggest ever conquered by a surfer? we'll have the story coming up. >> it's huge. >> really cool. >> that's great. let's get right to the weather extremes that are gripping the country. as the nation bounces from high heat to frigid cold and snow. the midwest is bracing for unusual and possible tornadoes. and then, snow right after. sam is tracking the whiplash forecast for us. good morning. >> that's a good one. whiplash forecast. it's exactly that. the extremes are so unusual here. listen to these numbers as we show you pictures out of kansas city. it's a 74-degree mopd, all-time record high temperature in

january. topeka, 77, all-time high temperature. and just days later, they slam into brutal air, that gives denver a hit of snow after being in the 60s the day before. it's the slam up against cold weather that has everybody talking and is the big problem right now. look at what you're going to go through in chicago over the next 24 hours. from 60 degrees, dropping by the time we get to wednesday, in the 40s. thursday, in the 20s. friday, 17 degrees. on one side of it, near record-high temperatures. on the other side, near record-low temperatures. that big difference in the nation today is setting up something else. not just slamming from hot to cold. but the possibility we'll have severe severe storms and strong line gusty winds and possibly tornadoes in the hot zone here. look from little rock, to memphis, to jackson. i would take this all the way to eastern texas here. not quite to dallas, as the real possibility of getting tornadoes today. even if you don't get tornadoes today or tomorrow, that cold front travels and travels fast. so, the strong, gusty winds with this. stay up with your abc stations, there will be at least, at the very least, wind damage with the strong storms.

today and again tomorrow. elizabeth? george? >> thanks, sam so much. josh, you have the lead story on the war on terror. >> that's where we're going to begin. with the u.s. military operations stepping up in the fight against a new war against al qaeda in africa. there's word this morning that the u.s. is laying the groundwork to build its first permanent base in northwest africa, from which to launch spy drones and potential missile attacks against militants in mali. the nearest american base is 3,000 miles away in djibouti. in what is called a significant escalation, britain has agreed to send troops to mali, as well as spy planes. and there is developing news from america's crucial ally in the middle east, egypt. the u.s. embassy has been forced to close because of violence street protests there. the situation so bad, that one military official says egypt's fragile government could now collapse. abc's lama hasan is in cairo with the latest. good morning, lama. >> reporter: good morning, josh. egypt is on-edge this morning.

here in tahrir square, the birthplace of the egyptian revolution two years ago, has seen five straight days of bloodshed and violence. overnight, protesters stormed a five-star luxury hotel. they broke down the security barriers before storming the lobby. and special forces swooped in to stop them. meanwhile, protesters defied an emergency law. in three provinces. tens of thousands poured into the streets. and some of them armed. and they battled with security forces. they want president mohamed morsi to step down. and they won't back down until he falls. josh? >> lama hasan, in cairo. thank you for that. a u.s. fighter jet and its pilots have disappeared after the coast of italy. the f-16, similar to what you see here, was on a training mission when it took off last night. we'll have updates as news warrants. also this morning, we learned a $61 million u.s. navy ship will now have to be cut into pieces after running aground on a reef in the philippines.

all efforts to break "the uss guardian" free have failed. one day after a bipartisan group of senators laid out a plan for immigration reform, president obama unveils his own proposal today when he visits las vegas. the president's plan is said to be more liberal. offering illegal immigrants a faster path to citizenship. a murder mystery in southern california. a prominent doctor has been shot and killed. robert gilbert, a urologist known for his local tv commercials was found in his exam room with seven gunshot wounds. the suspect arrested in the same room, is described as a patient in his 70s. police are trying to figure out the motive. finally, we saw at the top of the show, it could be a ride in the history books. take a look. a photographer caught an image of garrett mcnamara. you can barely see him because he's riding what is thought to be a 100-foot wave in portugal. a ten-story building looming

behind him. if confirmed, mcnamara would break his own world record he set in the same spot in portugal riding this wave, a mere 78 feet at the same beach in 2011. >> i didn't know they had waves that big in portugal. wow. incredible. you surfed them a lot, right? >> i surfed them exactly 0.0 times. nor would i ever. those are angry. that sea is a angry. >> angry. thanks, josh. now, to the big news from the boy scouts. they're set to lift a national ban on gay members and let local chapters set their own policy for gay scouts and leaders. david muir has been tracking this story. david, this shift could happen as early as next year. >> reporter: a spokesperson for the boy scouts of america tell us they are close to ending the ban. there's financial pressure from some of the scout's biggest sponsors pushing for change. and pressure from some young faces you're about to see. ♪ this morning, the boy scouts of

america, on the verge of historic change. these are the faces behind it. among them, derek nance, the eagle scout from california. and his own video that's gone viral. >> i hope to once again wear this badge with honor, without having to hide who i actually am. >> reporter: a long-time boy scout counselor who quit before he could reveal he was gay. and ohio mother, jennifer, whose 7-year-old son wanted to become a cub scout. so, she became his den leader. >> the year that followed was one of the most memorable experiences a mom could ever imagine. >> reporter: but she was then fired for being gay. told her sexual orientation would be a distraction. >> well, i'm not a distraction. we're moms. and we're americans. >> reporter: her boy, wiping away his tears. but this morning, a spokesman for the boy scouts of america, telling abc news, they're close to overturning the ban on gay scout leaders and scout members. writing, quote, this would mean there would no longer be a national policy regarding sexual orientation.

but there is new backlash this morning to any possible change. one religious leader declaring a change in policy would be nothing less than, quote, disastrous for the boy scouts of america. but for derek, it could mean putting on the uniform again. >> the uniform will proudly hang in my closet, waiting for things to get better. >> reporter: that change could come sooner than he thinks. national leaders of the boy scouts meet early next week. even if they lift the ban, though, they say local chapters can choose leaders quote, consistent with their beliefs. and there seems to be leeway they're hoping to have. >> and change bubbling from the ground up. david, thanks very much. >> thanks, david. now, to the harrowing crash-landing on the hudson river and the chilling 911 call made from inside that airplane, just moments after it crashed and was sinking fast. both the pilot and the passenger survived. abc's john muller has more on their harrowing story. >> the plane is filling up. >> reporter: you can hear the fear. a man who knows he might die.

>> the plane is -- we're going down. we're going down. >> okay. >> reporter: these 911 tapes from sunday's emergency crash-landing in the frigid hudson river were just made public. >> we're in the water. we're filling up. we're going to have to bail. we're going to go in the rear of the plane. the plane is filling up. >> where on the hudson river? >> we're in the middle of the hudson. >> reporter: the terrified caller is 43-year-old chris smith. the passenger on the piper single-engine plane that took the plunge. the other person lucky to be alive this morning, the 39-year-old pilot, denise koch, who managed to land the plane if the dark waters when their engine failed, just minutes after taking a sightseeing tour. >> the plane is taking on water. the plane is going down. get out. get out. it's going head-first. >> reporter: you can hear the very moment their bodies slip into the icy water. >> i'm going to lose you. i'm going to lose you. the water's freezing.

>> sir? >> the water's freezing. >> reporter: and then, silence. >> sir? sir? >> reporter: wearing life vests, passenger and pilot somehow survived almost 30 minutes in the deadly temperatures before rescuers pulled them to safety. >> saw the victims in the water. they definitely appeared to be in a state of hypothermia, going into shock. >> reporter: among them, an off-duty police officer and his 12-year-old son. >> my dad has always told me be brave and never be scared of helping somebody. >> reporter: an odds-defying landing, a successful rescue. it's reminiscent of the epic miracle pulled off by sully sullenberger, whose crash-landing saved 155 lives. now smith and koch can be counted as two more miracles on the hudson. this morning, pilot and passenger out of the hospital, alive and well. the plane remains submerged in the river. the ntsb is investigating what went wrong. the pilot did contact air traffic controllers and did make a may day distress call before that plane crashed. amazing stuff. >> listening to those tapes.

my goodness. they survived half an hour in that water. >> almost half hour, yes. >> john, thanks so much. we go to the west coast for a different kind of water threat. they're called sneaker waves. they strike suddenly. and they can sweep away the strongest swimmer. as neal karlinsky reports, a california woman is the latest victim. >> reporter: it's no surprise they're called sneaker waves. one look at the ones that have been captured on camera and you can see how suddenly they sweep in, knocking people hanging around otherwise peaceful shorelines off their feet. it's exactly what happened to 32-year-old susan archer, swept away sunday while working with her boyfriend, and their dog, trigger, along this northern california beach. >> you have to be careful of big waves. and we knew it. it just happened. >> reporter: tallerico said it was the same walk they took every day. only this time, the wave came.

>> tringer had gone around the corner. i couldn't see them. and by the time i was getting around the corner, i saw her going out already. >> reporter: this time of year from northern california to the washington coast, a simple walk on the beach can be deadly for those not keeping a close eye on the churning seas, which whip up these sneaker waves. sneaker waves are so dangerous because they arrive on the coast as part of a smaller wave train. at first glance, the train looks like a series of normal waves. until a much bigger and stronger sneaker wave emerges, catching everyone around unaware. bob gibson survived one in oregon, despite being slammed by a huge log. >> my thought was, this cannot be happening to me. >> reporter: since november in northern california, two more sneaker waves. one killing a man on a walk with his wife. the other leaving a couple and their 16-year-old son drowned. >> you never, never, never turn your back on the ocean. and you never want to get really close to it. >> reporter: but this morning, tallerico says people need to know. during the winter, a walk on the

beach can be anything but peaceful. he'll never look at the ocean the same way again. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> wow. all right, now to a story about our colleague, barbara walters. she was hospitalized ten days ago after a fall. and she's recovering just fine from that. but now, we learned that she has contracted the chickenpox. her colleague, whoopi goldberg delivered the news on "the view." >> barbara has the chickenpox. yeah. >> what? >> apparently, she's never had it as a child. >> that's right. never had it as a child. that's a key here. abc's health and medical editor, dr. richard besser, is here. and you say anyone over 25 who has never had it, probably has never been vaccinated and could get it. >> that's right. we tend to think about this as a mild childhood illness. but in adults, there's a greater risk of having complications from the chickenpox and they are at risk. they can get things like

pneumonia, bacterial infections. inflammation of the brain. and there's a group of adults, we think of it as rare. but almost 30,000 adults every year get the chickenpox. those that missed out on vaccination. and those that missed out when everyone was getting chickenpox and everyone was exposed. >> what should you do if you're an adult and you never had the chickenpox? should you get the vaccine? >> if you're in that group and know you didn't have the chickenpox, see your doctor. they can do a blood test to see if you had the chickenpox. or they can just give you the vaccine. more importantly, as you get older, you're at risk of shingles. the same virus that causes chickenpox comes out in another part of your body. once you hit 60, the vaccine for that can cut your risk in half. >> and shingles can be extraordinarily painful. and for some reason it's on the rise in this country. >> it is on the rise. that started before we were using chickenpox vaccine. but getting that vaccine will cut down your chances. even if you get shingles, it will be a milder case than even if you haven't been vaccinated.

>> all right. but we're happy to say that barbara is doing well. thank you for that. >> i had the chickenpox, 8 years old. it was like ten days. >> even worse when you're an adult. >> no question about it. here's a story that's just about guaranteed to get you mad. it involves an indiana couple who rescued and raised a hurt baby deer. look at it right there. now, they may be going to jail for that act of kindness. and abc's gio benitez has the story. >> reporter: what would you do if you saw a little deer like this one, injured and not able to walk? jess and jeff counseller said they faced that very question. >> i could feel the open wounds all over her backside. and she wouldn't stand up. >> reporter: they brought her home. naming her little orphan danni. they said she wouldn't leave. so, they raised her, keeping her for almost two years. but this past summer, everything changed. >> an indiana conservation officer stopped by. he talked to us about 20 minutes or so. and he asked about the deer.

and i told him, yes, we do. she's in the back. do you want to see her? >> reporter: the indiana department of natural resources wanted to euthanize danny, saying she might be dangerous. on the day danny was to be put down, jeff and jennifer say she escaped. >> i was devastated. you know, i had spent a year and several months getting her to the point where she was into adulthood and was going to be able to survive on her own. >> reporter: the counsellers were charged with unlawful possession of a deer. now, they could face up to 60 days in jail. and a total of $2,000 in fines. online, an uproar. a facebook support page and online petition to drop the charges has people commenting from around the world. rick on change.org wrote, an act of humanity should not be rewarded with a sentence. and michelle on facebook wrote, they are being punished for having compassion and showing kindness. >> no matter what the law is, we did what was right for the animal.

>> reporter: and this morning, danny is believed to be alive in the wild and free. the indiana department of natural resources says, it can't comment on pending litigation. this case could go to court next month. if charges aren't dropped, a jury will decide if the couple did right by bambi or broke the law. george and elizabeth? >> wow. i cannot imagine that trial. all right, gio, thanks very much. let's get the weather from sam. >> there has to be a better way for folks to handle it. and i mean the folks that are responsible for making the laws happen. there's a better way to make that happen. let's get to the boards. we're going to show you what's going on. we got an awful lot of heat. near-record high temperatures. 83 in tampa. look at houston, at 79 degrees. look at this area working up into texas. that's 90-degree temperatures near, probably laredo today. 77 in memphis. 66 in louisville. there's a lot of heat in the country today. it gets displaced by this front that slides through. that's why we're talking about the big zone of potential storms and the strong straight line

winds with the storm moving through the possibility of tornadoes, as well. cold air behind it. we'll be talking about that for days.

die. >> reporter: the prosecution has laid out every gruesome detail of how mormon businessman travis alexander was killed. after initially lying to police, arias finally admitted to stabbing him nearly 30 times and shooting him in june of 2008. >> jodi, this is over. this is absolutely over. you need to tell me the truth. >> listen, the truth is i did not hurt travis. >> reporter: first, she said she wasn't there. then, she was and witnessed intruders kill him. and finally, the version her attorneys are now telling the jury, that arias killed alexander in self-defense. >> the defense is going to come in and clean up this mess of her multiple stories and explain that in some kind of a narrative. >> reporter: domestic violence experts will testify to try to explain away her lies. and ultimately, most expect jodi arias, herself, will take the stand. >> for her to get up in person, on the witness stand, and tell a story and show emotion, and paint the picture of a woman

abused, is the strongest potential defense they have here. >> reporter: arias could face the death penalty if convicted. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, phoenix. let's get more from our legal team, nancy grace, who has been covering the trial for her show on hln. and our legal analyst, dan abrams. nancy, i have to begin with you. you reported on your show last night, that jodi may have been willing earlier to plead to a lesser charge. >> as a matter of fact, she wanted to plea to a lesser charge. what we learned from the defense memoranda was that a couple of years ago, she actually approached the state and wanted to plead guilty to a second-degree murder charge that carries a penalty of up to 25 years. there's two days to show it. number one, extreme indifference to human life, like drag racing. and the other is killing without

premeditation. they actually wanted to plea to that. but the prosecutor said no way. it wasn't enough time for jodi arias. >> are you surprised at that? >> i'm not surprised that jodi arias wanted a second-degree murder conviction. that's really the goal here, as far as i'm concerned. when you look at the amount of evidence here, and her own statements, of course, she wants a second-degree murder conviction. i don't think her lawyer, i don't think jodi arias expects there's a real shot she's going to walk away with an acquittal here. a second-degree murder conviction or a plea would have been a big win for jodi arias. i'm surprised prosecutors said no. >> as they mount their defense today, what is the best strategy going forward? >> for the defense? i think they have to call jodi arias. on the one hand, you're increasing the chance of her getting a lesser conviction. the other option is, don't have her testify, wait until the penalty phase, put her on on that point and beg for her life. that presumes you're going to

get a first-degree murder conviction. and then, you're going to try to save her life. if she takes the stand now, bigger gamble. maybe there's a chance the jurors connects to her. a juror connects to her in some way, shape or form. >> all she has to do is get one juror to connect with her in some way, right? >> well, that's all she's got to do. and the defense is betting on with the battered women defense theory, which i believe is totally unfounded, they plan to bring on an expert named alias viloette. the title of one of her speeches was -- was snow white a battered woman? it's hard for me to take that seriously. but i think we're glossing over here. and you're just analyzing it, like it's a spectator sport. it's not. there's a dead man. 29 stabs. and a gunshot to the head. what is disturbing to me is this woman was prepared to swear

under oath, on the bible, that she murdered him. and now, she wants to plead self-defense. now, it may be a game to everybody else what they put in front of a jury. but i take it very seriously. and if yesterday she was ready to say, i did it, show leniency, i murdered him. and today, she wants me to buy a crock called self-defense? that disturbs me. >> this is not a great example. it's possible in another case, someone could believe the chances of them getting convicted are so high that they don't want to take the chance of going to trial. and they're willing to take a second-degree murder conviction, even if they believe it was self-defense. in this particular case, that's not a great -- >> right. to them, it's a crap shoot. they're like in vegas. they don't care about the truth. >> nancy -- >> i care about the truth. >> prosecutors every day make decisions based on gambles. is it worth taking this case to trial? are we willing to take a plea to avoid going to trial, et cetera.

those are gambles that prosecutors take every day. >> we have to end -- >> when i look back on prosecuting, i always tried to do the right thing. when i was at that jailhouse yesterday, i ran into so many women as i was walking the halls, that she has convinced that self-defense is going to work on the jury. >> we'll see what happens. >> the last thing that jodi arias wanted was nancy grace at the jail. >> i'm sure that's right. let's get the weather from sam champion. >> we're watching this powerful cold front move across the country, with a footprint of heavy rain for two days now. we'll break this up. this is today's heavy rain that runs from chicago to st. louis, all the way towards dallas. there's flood watches out for this. and this happens tomorrow, when that front makes it all the way to the eastern seaboard. two days of heavy rain. even powerful storms in a good part of the middle of the country and the south. and behind that is enough cold air to deliver some snow. when you see a big hit of snow like this, and you see chicago left out again, chicago just doesn't get the snow that, say,

the head." we're happy to have sylvester stallone here to tell us about it. i was telling you off camera before you came out here, i was such a huge fan of "rocky." now, my 6-year-old son plays clips of "rocky" nonstop on youtube. >> i don't know what to say? is that a good thing? >> it's a great thing. you never get tired of watching the fight scene. >> i don't know what happened. i never intended it. it never ceases to amazes me, a young fella, approaching 100 years old, there's 6-year-olds still watching. it's amazing. >> did you imagine -- >> no. >> my sons are in it. every generation of boys loves it. >> it's a freak of nature. i don't blame authorship to it. >> you have a new movie out. it's based on a book called

"bullet." why did you pick this one? >> i wanted to do a graphic novel. i wanted to do something beyond the realm of realism. but still in my wheelhouse. i wanted to do a buddy film. but it's really not a buddy film. i hate this guy. he hates me. therefore, an anti-buddy film. and walter hill, a great director. he was a key i wanted to work with, these people while they're still in their creative state. >> you had said you wanted to work with walter hill in the movie "48 hours" but you passed on that role. >> i was dumb. i passed on a lot of things. >> which do you wish, looking back, you had taken that you passed on? >> "coming home." let me see. i did "rhinestone." and there was chasing some stone. with michael douglas. >> "romancing the stone"? >> i took the wrong stone. there's a lot of things. "witness." >> "witness"?

you were offered a role in "witness"? >> things like that. i go, wow. you make these mistakes and you move on. you do what you do well and give people what they want. >> you mentioned "rhinestone." you were saying a moment ago, with the great andrea bocelli, if he needs any singing help. >> he does need some pointers. andrea, open. breathe. you heard me in "rhinestone." ♪ last night i went honky-tonk is he coming over? is he going to punch me? >> i think my 6-year-old is really going to wish he is here. >> he's my man. >> he's great. >> we have a quick clip of this movie, where you're talking with the partner you can't stand, about how he's going to tell you how a cell phone can be used as a murder weapon. and you give him a little lesson. let's take a look. >> i can break this glass and use it as a cutting edge. never see me coming.

i could use a lithium battery to poison your drink and in your coffee. wouldn't even taste it. >> and i could kill you with this piece of apple. >> yeah, right. how would you do that? >> distraction. >> you mentioned in this movie, you used your voice in a way you never have before. you call it full voice. tell us about that. >> well, usually, rambo, he's kind of reserved. he doesn't open up. rocky, it's more nasal. why don't i just pretend, for once, that i am actually a hitman. you don't try to do any character work. you just go out there and say, okay. let me see. i'm a father of three. but today, i'm a hitman. but i have the same personality. see what i mean? it's kind of interesting. a lot of times it's more interesting to try to be someone else. well, it's not me. it's someone else. i'm a good guy. it was a bad character. i said, let me try to be me.

>> and you're going to go in the boxing ring one more time with robert de niro. >> oh, my god. >> you described it -- >> it's for warner brothers. it's called "grudge match." it's amazing. i've never had so much fun. we get in the ring and get it on. aren't they approaching the century mark yet? yes, we are. we're a little younger than the constitution. but, you know, most guys combined average age, 41. we're like 135. but we're just kids with arthritis. we really are. we're ready to go for it. >> trust me, my sons would love to be extras on that set. yeah. >> thank you. >> it's great to have you here this morning. "bullet to the head" opens nationwide on friday. >> a love story. >> a love story. >> i love you, my bullet. let's go to sam with a look at the weather. hey, sam. >> elizabeth, we love that.

the audience outside loved that with sly. you should go another minute. we could skip weather for more time with sylvester stallone. let's get to the boards. your twitter and facebook pictures are alive. from the colorado quick hit of snow, to savannah, georgia, which has warm temperatures rolling today. we're going to shift that with this front. as the front moves through, two zones of rain. the one to the left is the today zone. the one to the right is the tomorrow zone. this is heavy rain that will be coming with the fast-moving front. along that front will also be powerful storms, particularly in southern areas. >> all of that weather brought

to you by purina.

this is huge for me. andrea bocelli and david foster right here. one of the most successful classical solo artists. andrea bocelli has a new album out today, "passione."

andrea, before we get a song out of you. i love early stories. and i know you played piano in a bar in tuscany when you were a teenager. do you have wonderful memories of that time? >> first i remember, i was 18 years old. it was a very different age from now. and i remember that when i decide to play, i didn't know no one song. so, i had to learn a lot of songs in a few days. and i begun just with the songs that you will listen in this album. >> beautiful. david, we're going to hear a little bit of "passione." but you've done albums with him before. what brought you back? >> we have worked together so many times. his mediterranean love songs. duet with j. lo. it's the album that everyone wants to hear. >> we want to hear so much. just begin. "passione." >> all right.
